EA3 (Troisième exercice d'admiration : Jean Cocteau)
In September 2008, at the crack of dawn, a small film crew met in a house in Provence to give substance to a memory. During his childhood, whilst watching television, Vincent Dieutre heard Jean Cocteau’s La Voix humaine—created by Berthe Bovy with the Comédie française in 1930. He set out to find what so troubled him at the time in this “firestorm of words” and shot a “clandestine, feverish film” as an exercise in admiration as night falls.

From the mean streets of the Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York's most famous concert halls, Edith Piaf's life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love. Raised in her grandmother's brothel, Piaf was discovered in 1935 by nightclub owner Louis Leplee, who persuaded her to sing despite her extreme nervousness. Piaf became one of France's immortal icons, her voice one of the indelible signatures of the 20th century.
